Teachers are being treated more and more like Cassandra from Greek myth. Cassandra, as the story goes, could foresee the future correctly. Her curse was that no one believed her. I feel like a Cassandra. I have taught elementary school, grades 1-8, junior college and college courses. I have earned a PhD in educational psychology, and worked twenty years as a school psychologist. I wrote columns on education for twelve years. I believe I know the answers to the problems in education today or at least the right questions to ask. I believe many teachers and parents know the answers and the questions but only outside experts, mainly non-teaching men are believed. Reading these articles may give you insights which will enable you to be part of the solution and not part of the problem.In their study, aBenchmarks for science literacya they recommend that children as
young as five be given regular science lessonsanot just scattered experiments
like collecting snowflakes and learning that each snowflake has six pointsabut
lessons given as ... on national testing for fear that schools and teachers would
take the recommended benchmarks for each grade and use them as test
questions.
